$20 Amazon Gift Certificate

Here recently, I signed up to take part in the forums over at WiseBread.com. Where Will is having a Daily Giveaway Drawing from 12/31/07 to 1/31/08. Each day there will be two winners for a $20 Amazon Gift Certificate and a One copy of Zen to Done, a great productivity book by Leo Babauta of Zen Habits.

Well yesterday, I received an email from Will saying that I had won the first place prize for 1/5/08 of a $20 gift certificate. This is so awesome.

Latest Contest Winner: 1/5/08

$20 Amazon Gift Certificate Winner: Prince of Thrift

Zen to Done Winner: LNV
Congratulations! Thank you for enriching our forum with your comments. We will be sending you an email and a message through the forum's messaging system.

You can win to. Just sign up and start commenting. Each post of three lines or more will be considered an entry in the drawing. Now I just need to figure out what to get from Amazon. Any suggestions?
